Abstract
Communication is a key variable in the organization of human relations at individual, group and societal levels. The arrival of new communication technologies, however; brought about significant changes in the strategy and conducts of the contemporary organizations. The integration of the entire globe, through breath-taking technological apparatuses affects every societal institution in many ways that are challenging yet opportunity-oriented. Mostly affected in the lives of today's organizations are the areas of organizational interaction, structure and culture. In view of the role of changing communication technologies in structural, functional and survival of organizations in this era of globalization, this paper presents the pan-theoretical, communication-induced, adjustments that guarantee a perfect working alchemy among postmodern workers of diverse intellectual, cultural, ethical and linguistic milieus.
